Heather's 40th birthday is this year and we're already planning the trip, a multi-day visit to the Disneyland Resort with accommodations in a nice hotel. We're also planning dinners at some of the nicer places around the resort, including the Blue Bayou inside the park.

Did this for Kristy on her 40th and we had a ball!

I've always wanted to spend a night or two at the Grand Californian, but it would have to be one heck of a special occasion for me to be able to justify that kind of expense on myself...

We tried to swing that, but it just wasn't affordable. :(

Greetings All...

Ah yes, keeping "Momma Happy" I'll shop for gifts for Christmas but Birthdays are usually a case of "Have fun shopping and I'll see you back here before we go out for a nice dinner." Anniversaries are very similar.

We do have one fun ritual though. Each year, on or around our anniversary, we go to the Swarovski store and pick out a small crystal figure that ties to some significant event from the previous year. We bought a small plane in 2004 when I got my pilot''s license. Last year we bought a small Seal because we'd been to Sea World, etc... It's a fun exercise and it's fun to collect little things that have meaning!


Great idea! We used to do this with Disney snow globes. We would buy 1 or 2 a year on special occasions, and enjoy them. They were all proudly displayed on a glass shelving unit in our rumpus room that used to be our pseudo office. Well anyhow, one day the shelving unit got bumped and the top shelf collapsed into the 2nd shelf that took out the 3rd shelf and at least 7 snow globes.

The moral of this story is simple, we don't collect snow globes anymore. I think we still have 5 in which the globe itself hadn't broken and the small pieces that came off could be glued back on.

Sounds like fun! We are planning to take the girls in the fall. My youngest has never been, and my oldest was only 4 on her first trip. My husband dreads going.. it's like his worst nightmare.... haha.. I think we'll skip the plush accomodations though, and sleep over at my sister's house in Huntington Beach, and add in a beach day, and a bonfire at night... we love that part. :)

We are low maintenance, I don't do jewelry and actually don't expect a gift at all, I just like a nice dinner together somewhere with our son. We tend to be a package deal since we only have one.

I get Kristy a new snow globe every Christmas...

So when are you going to give the rest of us lessons on PS layer blending?
